The inverter will pass through extra energy if I go over the inverters rated output. I know that both the XW and SW can do this.
I have looked at that one, but unless something has changed, it can only "zero export" to loads on the output side, not the input. I have also watched a review on it and the owner criticizes that the settings are not flexible enough (e.g. can't set the low voltage cutout high enough) despite the hardware being perfectly capable of it.
